WIRC-CAA in need of clothing donations

Though the Western Illinois Regional Council-Community Action Agency accepts donations throughout the year, its Clothing Center is especially in need of spring and summer clothing.

Because of other clothing drop-off options, according to a news release, the Clothing Center has seen a substantial decrease in clothing donations. Eligible individuals and families from Hancock, Henderson, McDonough and Warren counties that come to the WIRC-CAA Clothing Center are able to obtain clothing at no charge.

Because of limited staff, it is preferred that donations be made during regular operating hours from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Monday through Wednesday in the Clothing Center, 223 S. Randolph St., in Macomb, or at other times through appointment, by calling 309-837-2997.

Because of space limitations, the center is not able to accept yard sale items, books, knick-knacks, magazines, household items, toys and stuffed animals.
